Friends,
This week I’m posting the final installment of my 3-part interview with Dr. Adrian Wiestner from the NIH where we discussed which CLL patients are more likely to relapse when being treated with ibrutinib and the options that are available if that happens. You can read my summary, and watch the interview here.
TOMORROW, the 2nd 2017 issue of The CLL Tribune will be published. Watch your email and set aside some time to read the fantastic articles in this issue, written by both patients and CLL Experts.
